Terminator Genisys

Lorne Balfe's score digitally available

Skydance Productions and Paramount Pictures have released Lorne Balfe's score to Terminator Genisys. Grammy winning composer Lorne Balfe creates an action-packed, emotive score for Paramount Pictures’ and Skydance Productions’ “Terminator Genisys,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, and Jai Courtney. Oscar® winning composer Hans Zimmer is the Executive Music Producer. Directed by Alan Taylor, “Genisys” returns to the Oscar® winning Terminator franchise to take familiar characters in a new direction. When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: to reset the future. The film opens in theaters nationwide on July 1, 2015. With the movie building from 1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgement Day,” including shot-for-shot recreations, Lorne Balfe’s score needed to honor the tradition of the past Terminator films while adding bold, new music to fit the action and emotions of “Genisys.” Producer David Ellison says, “This is the largest scale Terminator movie that’s ever been made. There are bigger action sequences in Genisys than any prior Terminator film.” In addition to propelling the action, Balfe’s score needed to tap into the film’s emotional core as it explores themes of freedom and guardianship. “The score contains everything but the kitchen sink. It’s a hybrid score, and although there are these massive action cues, there is a hell of a lot of emotion. The score needed to be much more personal to match the progression of the movie’s character development and convey the relationship between Sarah Connor and the Terminator,” stated Balfe. The total playtime of the soundtrack is almost 72 minutes.
